Snow Storm on 2/18

Mark wanted me to share pictures of the snow storm we had back on 2/18. We have received ove 60 inches of snow this year. The weather man says we have broken January and February monthly snow fall records. And they say March is the snowest month!!! Mark loves it! He loves the snow. I could care less about the snow, but that's probably because I grew up in NW Indiana.

35 Weeks Pregnant and BIG!!!!!

I thought I would share my big belly pictures! I can't believe how huge I look! I didn't think I was that big! But I guess I am. Baby Lawson still does not have a name, he is still kicking me ever second he gets, and I'm so tired now that at about 230 in afternoon I seriously want to just pack up my stuff up at work and say "See ya tomorrow" I seriously forget why I'm talking to my co-workers that I just walk way. But one positive thing is I'm sleeping all night long! I hope you enjoy these pictures!

Look What the Mailman Brought Us!!!

Tuesday when we got home from birthing class there on our door step was a box. I love getting stuff in the mail. Mark brought it in and I opened it immediately. We knew we were getting somthing from Susie and Lee. She did tell us it was a book. I was thinking it was a book about pregnancy or breastfeeding. I was wrong!! Baby Lawson got some books. Here's a picture of the lovely books. Thanks Susie, Lee and the kids :) I know Baby Lawson will enjoy them! We love and miss you guys :)

Doctor's Appointment Update

We went to the doctor's on Feb. 5th. Ok we went to two doctor's appointments on February 5th. First we saw the specialist about Baby Lawson's heart and she is confident that it will close. It is there, but it is very small. She said if the other doctor was not concerned then we shouldn't be either. She said that when he is born they will listen to his heart and if they hear a murmur then they will do a ultrasound to check out the heart. He weighs 4lbs and his heart beat was 155. He is already head down. Best part of the doctor's appointment is his placenta has pulled up. It is 3CM above my cervix and the doctors said anything 2.5Cm or less is a reason for a c-section. They yes it is close, but there is no reason for me not to be able to have a natural birth. Mark and I are relieved, b/c I just not sure about a c-section. I've been through one surgery and it wasn't fun. Of course if a life and death situation arised yes I'll have a c-section

For me I have now gained 31.4 lbs. I asked the doctor is she is concerned and she said not at all. She said to continue to watch what I eat. My ankles are starting to swell. I really watch everything I eat.

I think that is it about the doctor's appointments.

6 to 8 weeks

I can not believe that in 6 to 8 weeks Baby Lawson will be here. Time has gone by quickly, but slowly. Mark and I can't wait to meet him. Mark will talk and kiss my belly and you will see Baby Lawson kick at him. Its so cute and funny. Its like Baby Lawson knows what Mark is saying. For some reason Baby Lawson likes to sit on my right side. I have to push at him to get him to move. It doesn't work because with in 10 minutes he is right back there. Mark and I really need to decide on a name for Baby Lawson, but we just can't decide. We like all 3 names we have picked out. We just can't make a decision. Here are my favorite things about being pregnant.

1. feeling the baby move
2. seeing Mark smile and talk to Baby Lawson
3. back and leg rubs
4. shopping for baby clothes
5. decorating the nursery
6. Mark reading all the parenting books
7. birthing class
8. Ultrasounds, I love seeing the baby

Super Bowl

Well who would have thought that the NY Giants would have beaten the Patroits! All I want to say is that last nights game was a very exciting game. The commericals weren't that great. Congrats to the NY Giants. :)
